As sad as it is going through farewells with your Dad there is a special gift to it as well. My ninety-six year old Mom stayed, with me, at my home the last year or so of her life. It wasn't covid that got her (and none of us in the house were vaccinated) but her aged old heart finally reached its last beat.

We used our time to catch up on so many things and family secrets. Just the other day when thinking about sailing with my Dad a question came to mind and instinctively my thought was, "Must ask Mom about that." Then just as quickly remembered she was gone from this world yet still lived in my heart and mind.

So ask him everything you may think you will want to know before he is no longer there to answer. I have no doubt he knows how much you'll miss him yet don't forget to say it out loud. Much love to you both!
